ciels wss the complaint which yesterday
re.cbed the GAzETrE's editor from the
| friends Of Solicitor General jerks, that ne
had been Represented OF the authority OF
Mr.. Wu,. L. Royal by the GAZETTEs cor
respondent as making light OF the cases
which had been appealed TO the niga tf'ou,
nal Of which the Solicitor General Is iegsi
adviser. An investigation OF What was
printed in this correspondence showed tua'
there was DO foundation whatever fos the
compleiut. and that the Solicitor General
had been imposed on by certain Virginia
politicians lawyers in the case-and
made to believe thar something had been
said. whicn in fact.>we never said or IN
tended t. be said at all. II was stated that
the Solicitor General had been examining
the legal auesticns involved, and On the All
tho,itv Of iir Royal it was further stated

That Mr. jerks @as less than grave, solemn
land conscientious in his treatment OF the
Virginia cases. II was never said or intend
ed to be said that he was facetious over the
Discount forts or so called sacrifices of The al

lnush was 30 reason why honest debt pay
Jag and non.repu1iatng Virginians should
not laugh, If they so desired, Ut the futile Ell
forts TO dress with The hide Of the fox the
old lion of the noblest Commonwealth OF
them all. OF course the nullifers and repu
diato,s will be laughed az whenever they
venture to pose as patriots, and it cannot be
prevented By hir jerks or any one else
There are tears for Virginia, but lsugilter Oh
worse for her misguided officials.
